Here's ChatGPT being wrong about me lol[1]. First, it confuses me with another person (also wrote a Meteor book), straight up telling me that I'm the one that's confused. It also makes up a book which doesn't exist. Um, ok. Then, it tells me I'm based in Romania, which I am not. I was born there, but I'm based in Los Angeles (every one of my bios has this info).

Where does it say that you're the one who is confused?

Oh, the "not David..." part I assume. I thought it was just wrong -- not saying you were confused. I think sometimes we pull in too much "human intention" into AI chatbots.

I'm not the person that posted the prompt, I just read it and easily identified what they were referring to.

The fact that you don't, or have managed to pass that as anthropomorphizing is curious. I'll have to think about that, but on its face seems strange alongside your comment about if someone can't find a legitimate use case for AI that they shouldn't be a person who summarizes it.
